Xante was not in the mood to talk about what-if scenarios with Sunny. “Let’s stop the conversation here. Wait

outside for me. I need to discuss something with Corinne.”

Sunny crossed his arms unhappily. He refused to go outside since he did not see himself as an outsider when it

came to Corinne, so he thought he had to listen in on their conversations too.

Corinne pretended Sunny did not exist. She turned toward Xante, asking, “What did Holden Group say?”

“They’ll come tomorrow afternoon to go over the details with us.”

Corinne nodded and stood up. “Noted. Sunny can stay here. I’ll go and give you guys some room. Bye.”

Xante glanced at Sunny and said helplessly, “Boss, you don’t have to go. I’ll kick him out now.”

Corinne put up her hand to stop her. “No, it’s fine. I’m not leaving because of him. I actually finished what I came

here to do. Plus, I’m a little tired now, so I want to go home to take a nap. You two stay and chat, okay?”

“I’ll ask the driver to send you back then,” said Xante.

Corinne waved her hand. “No, it’s okay. I haven’t been out in the city for a long time, so I don’t mind walking around

the area for a bit before taking a taxi home.”

After that, she opened the door and walked out of the office.

Xante could not help but feel worried. She went out to instruct her secretary to accompany Corinne to walk around

before getting her a taxi home.

Since Corinne was in the final trimester of her pregnancy and it was harder to get around by herself, she decided to

take up on Xante’s offer to have her secretary accompany her.

However, she did not expect to run into Jeremy downstairs.

He was sitting in his car with his window rolled down mid-way, revealing the top half of his side profile.

Beside the car, Annie stood with her arm looped around Marcus. She was introducing Marcus to Jeremy. “Uncle

Jeremy, meet Marcus! He’s the boyfriend I told you about,” she said.

Jeremy glanced tepidly at Marcus.

Marcus was so nervous that he did not know where to put his hands. “Hello, Sir. I promise I’ll take good care of

Annie.”

Jeremy was not a woman, so he was not interested in Marcus’ vows of love. He simply said, “Sure. Get in the car

now.”

Marcus remained rooted to his spot out of nervousness.

Annie laughingly nudged him. “Marcus, why are you still standing here? Uncle Jeremy asked us to get into the car.”

Marcus snapped back to the present and scratched his head awkwardly. “T…Thank you, Sir.”

Annie happened to see Corinne, who was being helped down the stairs by Xante’s secretary, from the corner of her

eyes when she was pushing Marcus into the car.

She was first stunned, but she then instinctively turned toward Jeremy to see his reaction.

Jeremy obviously saw Corinne too since he was looking at them. However, his expression remained as impassive as

ever.

Annie thought Jeremy would be really happy to see Corinne, so she was a bit puzzled at his cold attitude. “Uncle

Jeremy, Corinne’s back!”

“Yeah, I saw.”

Annie frowned. “Should I go over there to ask her to join us for lunch?”

“Up to you,” said Jeremy coldly. After that, he rolled up his window.

This confused Annie.

After thinking about it, she ran over to where Corinne was and said, “Corinne, Uncle Jeremy asked you to join us for

lunch.”
